Default Infotainment System OFF by default

Hello Everybody
I just traded a 2010 Ultra Limited for a 2015 Ultra Limited and find the infotainment system to be a major pain. I might listen to music once a year or so yet I have to take the time to be annoyed by the nag screen and turn the system off every time I start the bike. Does anybody know how to set the system so it is OFF by default?

That's not an option at this time. About all you can do is turn the volume all the way down or turn it off after each start.

Does this system have its quirks, yes. My experience with it overall is favorable. I've not experienced many of the problems others have.

I'm with you! If you follow "the procedure" it will stay off about 75% of the time on startup, still not 100%, but closer.

1. Turn the radio off.
2. Kill the engine with the kill switch.
3. Turn the ignition off.
Restart
1. Turn ignition on.
2. Wait for the radio to boot up to the bar & shield and time screen. Sometimes the radio starts playing at this point, just turn it back off once you start the engine.
3. Turn the kill switch on.
4. Hit the starter.
The "Accept" screen will come up for a few seconds and it will go back to the bar & shield and time, or the radio will come on.

Having it stay off or on at startup seems pretty basic, but...
